Dissa tissied Excursioni.,s.

The HERALD is in receipt of letter
from Mr.. A. H. Hutchinson in relation
to the manner in which Band of Hope
excursion to Santa Monica, which took
place on Saturday, was treated by the
railroad officials. The exoursionists say
that they chartered three cara, but the
officials refused to allow more than fifty
persons to ride in a car. 1t is also
charged that those holding excursion
tickets who were excluded from the
chartered cars were Obliged to pay dou-
BILE fare. If those holding excursion
tickets and denied admittance to the
chartered cars will communicate with
Mr.. A. III. Hutchison, postofice box 7S9,
their money will be refunded. Resolu-
tions signed by about forty of the ex.
cursionists expressing deep disgust at
the treatment of the company accom-
pany Mr.. Hutchinson's letter. The
length of the communication prevents
its publication, but the above embraces
the salient features.

CHICAGO, May 29.-This week the

ports this week indicate that local rains
throughout the Western States have
more or less broken up the drought, and
an improved condition of affairs in re-
lation to the winter wheat crop is no.
ticeable in Indiana and Ohio; and while
other states have suffered from tho lack
of rain, it seems probable that should
the present conditions continue, the
damage will be less than was anticipated.
The May rain is generally needed, ex-
cept in the Southern States. for growing
crops, and reports on Sunday morning
May 29th, show that the favorable con-
ditions of rainfall and temperature yet
continue, except 10 Michigan, Illinois
and Southern Minnesota, where the
needed showers are to-day predicted.
Twenty. three counties in Illinois report
an average condition OF the winter

CLEVELAND FISHES.
Hut Did Not Get N Bite-His De-
vOtiOnaI Ladies.


PROSPECT HOUSE, May 29.-The
President on Saturday had a day of most
dismal weather. He made his first fish
ing excursion, but his usual good luck
did not attend him. He came over from
his cabin soon after o'clock in the
morning with Mrs. Cleveland, each
wearing suit of corduroy. The Presi-
dect's short sack coat over gray fan
mel shirt, gave him very sportsmanlike
appearance. Mrs. Cleveland's costume
was completed with sailor hat. The
Colonel and Mrs. Lamont Joined the
President and his wife at breakfast, which
was eaten in the public dining-room
at the Saranac Inn. At ii O'Clock Dave
Crenk, guide, got ont the Presidents
new, forty-five pound pine boat, built by
him for the Presidents use, and
both he and the President went off
down the lake. Col. Lamont, also &C.
companied by another guide followed in
another boat. Both boats returned three
hours later, the President and his Secre.
tary found the wind unfavorable, and
did not try very hard to catch anything;
at all events they did not get any fish.
Another trip on the lake was made in
the afternoon with no better results.
The party took breakfast at 10 o'clock |
this morning, the President and his Sec
retary appearing in the camping cos.
tunes they wore on Saturday. The |
ladies went to little chapel not far |
from the hotel, and in the absence of any |
held little singing service
for an hour. The President expects to
have some good sport tomorrow.

CTYof MEXICO. via Galveston, May 20.
AT ten minutes to 3 clock this morning,
there was felt here violent shaking of
the earth, or sort of lifting motion, which
lasted five seconds. Next there came,
prefaced by low roar. and aceompanie d
by stiff breeze, violent oscillation Of
the earth from east to. west, which
awoke nearly every one, lasting as IL
did, thirty-nine seconds. Houses
swayed to and fro as If. they were
ships at sea and persons arising
from their beds, were in many cases
thrown with violent force to the floor.
Bells were rung In the hotels, aud every-
where doors were forced open. Then
came still another oscillation of much
and more violence, proceeding from
north to south. During this shock,
erockery was thrown down and pictures
demolished in several houses. Thou.
sands Of persons dressed themselves and
did not go to bed again. Reports RS
ceived here to-day by Governor Cabal-
los, from the Federal District do not
show any fatalities as a result
of this earthquake, and deu,zsns of the
suburban towns report about tn. same
sensations as were felt by the inhab.t.
ants of the metropol s.
At the School OF Mines, Secretary
Ugalde reports that his seismic instrn--
ment showed that heavy shock had
taken place. The instruments are self
registering. and prove that the shock of
this morning was severe one.
At the office os Governor CabaI-
los it is reported that the shock was
much more severe than that of 1882.

On To santa Barbara.

The rails are laid on the Southern
Pacific Branch Railroad for distancs of
nine miles this side of Ventura. The
work of ballasting the road is being
rapidly pushed, and everything points
to speedy completion Of the road to
this city. Then look out and
stand from under, for prosperity
will reign in manner alto
gether unheard of. The coming of
strangers to our beautiful city will be
the means of adding wealth to the place,
new industries will be inaugurated, and
the tide of immigration will continue
year by year. until Santa Barbara will,
in commercial point of view, be the
second city in Southern California. This
assertion may be regarded by some as
premature, as was the article published
in the Independent several months ago,
to the effect that we were to have a rail
road. Time alone will tell. -[Indepsr,

An Error That should Be Cor.
rected.

The HERALD has several times called
attention TO the practice of the deputy
clerks in issuing marriage licenses and
failing to enter the names of the parties
in the fee book of the office. Saturday
night marriage notice was brought into
the HERALD Office in the due course Of
business, and it was published in Sun.
days paper: The reporter knew that a
license for such marriage did not appear
of record at the Clerks office, but as he
also knew that on two other occasions
during the week the names of parties to
whom licenses had been issued were
suppressed, he supposed this like cas- e..
1t now transpires that the marriage
notice was false and malicious. The
parties were not married, and have no
intention of being united in wedlock.
This publication is liable to cause people
to feel badly, and it would not have
occurred had the soft-hearted employees
of the Clerks office done their duty.

WASHINGTON, May 29--The follow.
is the weather crop bulletin issued by
the Signal Office to-day, for the week
ending May 2Sth. Temperature during
the week ending May 26th, the weather
has been slightly warmer than usual in
the Mississippi Valley, and thence
westward to the Pacific Coast; and from
Southern New England westward >over
New York, Pennsylvania aad Ohio; the
week has been slightly cooler than
usual in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vir.
ginia and the South Atlantic States,
but in all the agricultural districts east
of the Rocky Mountains the average
temperature for this week differs but
slightly from the normal.
In Oregon, Washington Territory ard
Northern California Gn excess of the
temperature ranges from % to so de.
grees. The season from January lst to
May 2Sth has been slightly warmer than
usual in the grain and tobacco regions;
while the average daily excess in the
cotton region has been from l.5 to de-
grees.
During this week the rainfall has been
slightly in excess of an average in the
cotton regions from Texas eastward to
Georgia, and generally in New England,
New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Frequent sho sers have occurred in the
corn and wheat regions, where the total
rainfall for the week, although well dis.
tributed, was slightly below the normal.
Kansas has been favored by rainfalls
in excess of the normal. especially in
the western portions.
Owing to the favorable distribution of
rainfall this season, the deficiency of
from 10 to Is inches appears, as yet I'M
injurious in the cotton region.
Throughout the entire agricultural
districts the weather has proved
especially favorable.

DEATH NEWS.
Coroner Meredith Kept Busy
Holding InquesIs.

Holding InquesIs.
Coroner Meredith has returned from
an extensive trip about the county. He
first went to the Sierra Madre noun.
tains, north of La Cahnada, for the pur-
pose of holding an inquest on the body
of Joseph Moore, brother OF Captain
Moore, the Surveyor, who died while
prospecting for timber. 1t was found to
be impossible to bring the body down,
so Coroner Meredith advised Captain
Moore to bury his brotter where he lay,
and held no inquest. There was no
trail over the mountain peaks, and as
there was no sign of struggle in the
vicinity there was no necessity for en-
inquest.
The Coroner then proceeded to San
Pedro, where he held an inquest on the
body of Elizabeth Tanish, who died
under circumstances which were con-
sidered to need an Investigation. 1t
was found, however, that she had
died from an excessive use of
Intoxicating liquors. Her husband tes.
titled that they commen ,ed drinking on
Monday last, and continued drinking
until she died. On Wednesday they
were both seen in bed, drunk, and
physician was called in. He prescribed
for both, but the woman died the next
morning. Deceased was native of
England, 80 years of age.
Doctor Meredith then proceeded to
Pasadena, where he held an inquest on
the body of Robert Fryer, the shoe.
maker who cut his throat. The jury in
the case found a verdict of suicide.
To-day Coroner Meredith will hold an
inquest at Pasadena on the body of
Earl Potts, the boy who was run over
by the engine at Duarte, on Saturday
morning. As was expected, Potts did
not recover from the effects of his in.
juries, and died yesterday, at Pasadena,

The baseball game at the Sixth-street
grounds did not call forth very large
attendance yesterday, and the game
was very uninteresting from the start.
The game was between the Santa Monica
nine and the Peck & Ruggles club. 1t
was evident from the start that the
Santa Monicas were the best in every
way, both in the field and at the bat
The battery Of the Peck & Ruggles nine
was very poor and was changed after the
third inning. Only eight innings were
played, and it was not until the eighth
that the Peck & Ruggles were allowed
to get in run. The score was as fol
